BOOKS-A-MILLION, INC. ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
——————————————
Comparable Store Sales Decline 0.9%

BIRMINGHAM, AL (May 29, 2015) – Books-A-Million, Inc. (NASDAQ: BAMM) today announced financial results for the 13-week period ended May 2, 2015.  Revenues for the 13-week period ended May 2, 2015, decreased 1.9% to $101.8 million, compared with revenues of $103.8 million in the 13-week year-earlier period.  Comparable store sales for the first quarter declined 0.9%, compared with the same period last year. Net loss attributable to Books-A-Million for the first quarter was $5.3 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared to $5.6 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in the year-earlier period.
 
Commenting on the results, Terrance G. Finley, Chief Executive Officer and President, said, “Our comparable store sales decline versus last year was largely due to a strong prior year title line-up in our teen category.  This decline was moderated by improvements in our fiction and kids categories as well as continued growth in our non-book categories of toys, games and puzzles.”
